The Chot Story

susah nak ambil gambar, tak duduk diam

Chot intro:

He weighed 340 grams when we first brought him home....cute but not manja. He had company earlier but his companion, Cheit and Chein died after just two weeks and one week @ hom respectively. We decided not to get him company again & he lives happily ever after......

Visit to vet:

Not a regular visitor; only take him if i notice something not right.

1st time - few days at home, he had 'dirty' bottom - we changed his food. Since then he will not eat other than that one brand - waaahhhh chot very demanding, tak padan ngan tak boleh cakap!

2nd time - i saw him jumping suddenly which made me think he felt itchy. True enough, he had 'nits', doc says 'parasite'. He was given injection once weekly for 7 weeks (until thre's no parasite seen under microscope). Sekali jab RM20/-

3rd time - About a month's back. He had so much bulu that it 'clumps' at few parts of the body esp his under. I know he had tail, but i don't see that anymore. I did cut away those on top but dare not touch the bottom as i' was not sure which is what (clumps, flesh or his "tuuuuut") Doctor helped remove the clumps and i requested his help to trim the thick bulu down there. We did that in two days; we stopped when he showed sign of agitation. For that i paid RM70 in total.

Life at home:

Having him at home is just like having another baby (not as delicate as actual baby care). I bathe him weekly, makes sure he has enough food & water, clean his cage twice daily, comb him, trim his bulu.....

one of his favorite spots - under this marble coffee table;

cool i think

Well well, since we had him, our home was never the same again. No more tower lamp & water fountain & aquarium...all because he spoilt the cables...

last night, makcik came into the room and exclaimed that chot 'hilang'. i was shocked in the manner that my 'son' has escaped his perimeter. Luckily my shock was shortlived when makcik explained it was something else....never hear dwhat she explained as i realised chot is safe n sound. heh heh i now realised that chot is really a significant family member
